Ulis made his first appearance since the last game before the All-Star break due to the absences of T.J. Warren, Devin Booker and Josh Jackson. He played just under half the game but made the most of his minutes, with the 10 helpers representing his second highest total of the season. At least two of Ulis' three aforementioned teammates are expected to return Tuesday against the Cavaliers, which could minimize any role he was set to play.
